Abstract

Conventional agriculture, which requires human labor and does not use any kind of mechanism, is proved to be very less efficient and cannot meet the growing food requirements of the world. The application of IoT as a means of implementing change toward precision agriculture is presented below. The following paper describes the design of a smart agricultural system using IoT devices, Raspberry Pi, and a set of sensors: soil moisture, humidity, gas, flame, and motion sensors to improve farming. High technologies like drone and image processing are used to check the health of the plant and increase the production during the farming process.The smart system substantially enhances the productivity and utilization of resources by making smart choices. A mobile application can expand the system’s capabilities, data protection, low energy consumption and high reliability. This specific use of IoT makes farming more efficient to enable farmers to grow more crops and make more profits as a positive step towards sustainable farming. From the research, the authors have been able to show how IoT can be implemented in agriculture to facilitate better yield, resource utilization, and its sustainable utilization.The implementation of IoT-based smart agriculture systems significantly enhanced farming efficiency, resource utilization, and crop yield. Results indicate improved decision-making, reduced manual labor, and increased productivity through automated monitoring and mobile-based control.
